A tornado touched down in southern Weld County, not far from Fort Lupton, about 4 p.m. Monday, but there were no injuries or damage to any structures, according to the Weld County Sheriff’s Office.

Sgt. Sean Standridge of the Weld County Sheriff’s Office said the tornado touched down about a mile north of Fort Lupton.

The tornado was last located at U.S. 85 and Weld County Road 20. It was heading northwest from Fort Lupton.

Fort Lupton Police Chief Ken Poncelow said he saw the tornado in the sky before it touched down in a field.

“It set up there for a long, long time and it went down to a field,” Poncelow said. “We didn’t have any damage in the city. The tornado sirens went off in the city. They activated those back when it first started.”

The storm, which prompted the tornado warning, weakened below severe limits by 4:15 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

A tornado was also spotted near Denver International Airport. DIA officials said passengers were sheltered until any danger passed.
